  1. Do you have after market alarm? Not really sure on how system work but I can ask my brother since he does alarms and stuff. On my car if I put my key in the driver door and unlock it and hold it all my windows and sun roof will open. If I lock and hold it everything closes. The clicking noise has to be them unlocking and holding the pulse until everything closes. Does it ever do the oppisite and close ur windows? Could be a loose wire or bad controller on the key cylinder. Does your car have that oppition? Put ur key in the hold it in the unlock position.

  2. Picked up a used srt kit the other and got it installed this morning. After installing the intake without the air filter (needed to by a new one) and little ecu the car had a low idle. I thought it would correct its self after getting the filter. During the 3 min ride to the auto parts store I could feel the difference. Not so much when punchng it but around 1.5 2000 rpm. After getting to the store and buying the filter I went out disconnected the battery poped on the filter and reconnected the battery. The cars idel was got worse and kept dieing. I got the on eway and played with it but the idel never corrected its self. It kept dieing if I didn't get it some gas. When I got home I pulled the srt ecu and the idle was fine. The car had a slight hesitation when punching it in drive not park. Did I miss something or do something wrong. If you think it will be easier to explain or help trouble shoot email me and I will respond with my number andrewmoctezuma@gmail.com. thanks!!

  3. i had a noise i swore was coming from my dash. I never took it out but crawled under a few times to check alarm wires or loose relays but nope. Even pulled out my sunroof tube (took forever to put back) but the that wasnt it. Then i realized it was coming from outside threw the fender so i took it off too. NOPE! After bouncing the car for a few i noticed the nice and pin pointed it down to the strut mount. Replace the mounts and struts and it was gone. Anyone looking for struts this website sells KYB parts at a good price Justsuspensions.com got the mounts and struts for under 215 shipped. Mention there advertisement on amazon to get that price or they will charge about $20 more.

  4. my engine light comes and goes for my cats. Dirty cats can take away from the cars performance depending on how bad. It can also effect your o2 sensors in the long run. Id replace them with the factory ones. Cost more but less work and no welds to rust. Cheapest direct fit i found was here http://www.car-stuff.com/mmparts/lexus-gs4..._converter.html. If anyone know where to get a better price please post.

  5. HOT DAM! My dad had a problem like this but not a lexus it was a van. We were on St.Louis farrrrr from home and the van started running like *BLEEP*. He ended up cutting the cat off but that wasnt the problem. It ended up being a short and the injector was stuck open. Have you fixed the problem yet?

  6. Hey people, I had the same mod done on my GS3 when I had it. The GS3 cats are in the headers, so when you remove the headers you remove the cats. The headers I had were OBX; you can use most aftermarket IS300 headers (same motor) but when I comes to the down pipe, the GS's is longer than the IS one. I used SIMS (simulators) and I didn't have any check engine lights or anything.

    There are a few places in Atlanta that can do this kind of work. Just let me know what part of town you're in and I can give you some info on that. I have a GS430 now, and I think I need to get one of my cats replaced too (the 3rd one).

    I live in loganville and need to get my GS300 done could you please give me the address. Thanks in advance .

    hey I live in Atlanta and want to get the same done Where did he send you?

    Seafoam ur car.. made my check engine for the car go away

  7. Looks nice.. Ive been having problems since i changed mine and i think i finally figured it out. After a night of rain in the morning i would go out to my car to find the very bottom of the door panel kind of wet with water. Took me a few days but i guess the factory speaker boxes help protect water from leaking in to the door panel of the door. For anyone that has changed there speakers and removes the factory housing have you noticed this problem or is it just me>?

  8. Nice job. :cheers: Having skin options is great, but I think you should tone down the colour of your faceplate as well.

    im assuming he will paint that soon and was just test fitting? op...nice job...very creative. so r u using a power inverter to run this?

    nope. i bought a mini itx power supply, runs off of 12volts.

  9. Sorry no pics of me doing it and yes it has a smart power supply. You can adjust the settings on how it starts up and shuts down. Mines turns on after 5 seconds of seeing ignition and shuts down 3mins after the cars turned off. There is also a program the im going to use that runs over windows. You can design or own "skin" to how ever you like. For example i could make it look like this http://www.crackedconsole.com/car/Carputer/demo.jpg

  10. Thats a easy one.. why do guys do anything?? For the ladies of course lol but no ive always wanted to put a computer in my car and the gs was perfect for it because of the layout.The glove box also was perfect too because of where the cd changer was. The motherboard mounted perfectly with room for the hard drive and a dvd drive that im thinking of adding. I have lots of music and movies and i was tired of doing cds and dvds a computer was the best way for me to go. B)
